RESUMEN
Objetivos: caracterizar la asociación entre las lesiones ateroscleróticas de las arterias coronarias con la osteoporosis de la columna lumbar y de fémur proximal en hombres y mujeres. Métodos: se estudiaron 79 necropsias, realizando densitometría postmorten de columna lumbar y fémur proximal, clasificando los niveles de densidad mineral ósea (DMO) según T score en: normal, osteopenia y osteoporosis; seguido del examen patomorfológico y morfométrico de las tres coronarias epicárdicas principales aplicando el sistema aterométrico, clasificando las lesiones ateroscleróticas como: estría adiposa, placa fibrosa y placa grave. Resultados: la asociación aterosclerosis-osteoporosis mostró características especiales para cada sexo, con predominio significativo de osteoporosis en hombres y de osteopenia en mujeres. Tras remover el efecto del tabaquismo, las diferencias entre los géneros se modificaron, observándose que los fumadores, de ambos sexos, presentaron una DMO y una asociación aterosclerosis-osteoporosis similares. Conclusiones: la interferencia ejercida por sexo sobre la asociación aterosclerosis-osteoporosis resultó despreciable
ABSTRACT
Objectives: characterize the association between atherosclerotic lesions of the coronary arteries and osteoporosis of the lumbar spine and the proximal femur in men and women. Methods: a study was conducted of 79 necropsies by postmortem densitometry of the lumbar spine and proximal femur. Bone mineral density (BMD) levels were classified according to T score into normal, osteopenia and osteoporosis; followed by pathomorphological and morphometric examination of the three major epicardial coronary arteries, applying the atherometric system and classifying the atherosclerotic lesions into adipose stria, fibrous plate and grave plate. Results: the association between atherosclerosis and osteoporosis exhibited specific features for each sex, with a significant predominance of osteoporosis in men and osteopenia in women. After removing the effect of cigarette smoking, there was a change in the differences between the sexes, with smokers of both sexes presenting a similar BMD and a similar association between atherosclerosis and osteoporosis. Conclusions: the influence of sex upon the association between atherosclerosis and osteoporosis was negligible
